[ DISPLAYING ABSTRACT ]

Winston Churchill's postulate "Thoughts for a Time of Crisis" (Aug. 17) that "great wars come when both sides believe they are more or less equal and when each thinks he has a good chance of victory," is no longer valid in a century which has fathomed the secret of the liberation of energy from matter, but is still grappling with the problem of the liberation of man from his own self-destructive divisiveness.
